I like the chair. It is comfortable. I put it together BUT on one side I cannot get the arm to screw into the back piece. I tried and tried and tried until my hands were sore. The other side worked fine. So now I have one loose arem. Next time I want a chair that is already put together as I thought this one was.
This is by far the most uncomfortable and unfriendly chair that I Have ever had. The seat stays tipped forward so that I cannot sit flat and it is causing problems for my back. I cannot change the tension to even force it back. This was a huge mistake and I'm sorry I purchased it.
The overall feel and fit of my chair is very good. It's smooth and is comfortable. My only issue is that the black plastic cover plate on the lower left side falls off and it won't stay put when I place it back on. Paul M.

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the most part I really like it. For me the selling point was that when it's in tilt it very easily does tilt. Most other chairs you have to put forth some effort others you really got to push back. And it is pretty comfortable. For me the only drawback is that it's leather. I was looking for a different material for a chair because I didn't want to have to do the extra stuff needed to take care of leather plus if sitting in it in shorts you stick to the chair. I bought it because the very few Staples had at the time I hated. And I needed one right away so settled on this one. Putting it together was pretty easy EXCEPT for connecting the back to the arms. The directions have you connect the arms first to the seat then to the back. I had a heck of a time -- by myself -- doing this. Made me think that quite possibly it would be easier to attach the arms FIRST to the back then to the seat. It would be awkward but I think more do-able. Yes I would recommend.
Great chair the instructions were a tad bit confusing which ultimately caused me to cause a small tear on the chair. However once it was completed. It was great. Comfortable. Shipping was lightning fast too. Thanks !
My main intention for purchasing this chair was to have enough lower back/lumbar support. Unfortunately this chair is not great for lower back support. I had to buy additional back support cushion apart from this chair.
